I just started reading this book tonight, and noticed that Albert Ball and Arthur Rhys Davids should also be added to the list real people.

I believe the young French girl that Poe drank from was Collette's Gigi. The book is quite a bit different from the musical, and much more controversial, so I wouldn't be surprised at her mother and grandmother having her on the streets at that young age. 68.47.220.56 ( talk) 00:52, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
I have argued that because the Bertie character makes a crack at "annoying aunts" in the novel, this is a direct referrence to the P.G. Wodehouse character- Bertie Wooster. Instead they claim it is some "Biggles" character, which is way off the mark. Too bad the work's author can't clarify any of these ambiguities.
I have often thought that a two sentence character in the book is Adolf Hitler, but that is just an opinion. However, I see someone has put his name on the list. Can anyone reference the page/paragraph/sentence? WookMuff ( talk) 09:51, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
